After singing the PS3's praises for the past couple of years, recent events have convinced me to switch sides and join the 360 ranks. I am trading in my PS3 and extras tonight and have been quoted a great price for it all. With that store credit I am planning on getting a slimline 360, 12 months of xbl and I also have enough to pick up a game to keep me occupied until LA Noire comes out (which has already been paid for).

The big question is my 360ians, what game would you recommend? Are there any that the Spiceworks community play regularly? Answers on a post card please :)

What has happened with Sony is very unfortunate, but its not making me lose faith in the company altogether. Life goes on.

I have gone through 3 XBOX's, while my launch 60gb PS3 has never had a problem. I also enjoy the PS3's overall capabilities more than the 360's, as well as the game selection.

While I'm very ticked about the whole business with Sony being hacked, I still enjoy their console offering more than Microsoft's this time around. What is happening sucks, but I won't let that ruin the fact that I enjoy my PS3 more.

Must admit its been a long while since I played MW2 so I was half tempted by it. Not a huge COD fan by any stretch but its certainly more polished than Blops. Bad Company 2 is also appealing given how much I loved it on PS3. What about the more recent 360 exclusives such as Fable3? Any gems in there I've missed?

For online multi-player, I'm currently mostly on Black Ops. With that being said, I can't wait for Battlefield 3 to come out.

For single player, I am finishing up Fallout 3, then on to Bioshock, Bioshock 2 and Fallout New Vegas.

I am eager to play some L.A. Noire, but I have that reserved on the PS3. We'll see how that turns out.

If you decide that you need more friends on XBOX and are interested in Black Ops... there is a thread that has gamertags for you- http://bit.ly/iFFOLF (I'm sure there's more gamertags on here for other games, but I only knew of that one since I posted on there.)

Looking at just the consoles, the PS3 wins hands down in my eyes. I love the fact you can watch blu rays, surf the web, use custom themes, use 2.5inch laptop disks as storage, the exclusives, etc, etc, but I cannot justify leaving my details with a company that seems so below-par when it comes to data security and customer service. At least with the 360 I know that I will get a decent online service

I agree that it sucks that data was compromised, but they're not the first major company to do it. If everyone immediately stopped using a product because of a single information issue, no one would use anything in today's world. How many people who are planning to drop the PS3 are using iPhones? Better have dropped those, too, especially if you were on AT&T.

No company is perfect. This is the first time Sony has ever had an issue like this, and I've had my PS3 since launch. Again, while I'm not at all happy about this, I'm not going to have this turn me off from what is and has been a very enjoyable machine for me.

The only thing PC gaming owns is my eyes! I can't play games at such close range, I need a sofa and a tele lol

LoL I know but I'm short sighted so the Tele is too far away for my eyes :-p

haha my eyes aren't brilliant so I opted for a 42" tele, best of both worlds ;) I don't mind PC gaming in small bursts, but every time a PC game interests me I usually have to buy a new component in order to play it lol

I wish there was a multiquote function because I am about to quote the hell out of R4U :) Alright to start with

"but I cannot justify leaving my details with a company that seems so below-par when it comes to data security and customer service"

Do what I did and put in a fake address. Use one of those prepaid debit card thingy magoos. There are always options.

"The only thing PC gaming owns is my eyes! I can't play games at such close range, I need a sofa and a tele lol"

Hook to your tv and enjoy gaming goodness. I hooked to my 40inch and haven't went back to my 24inch in months.

"but every time a PC game interests me I usually have to buy a new component in order to play it lol "

PC gaming has been stagnant for the past few years because of developer laziness. I have had the same specced rig since 07 and can still play games that come out today at max sexiness. BC2,Crysis and Crysis 2, and Metro 2033 are the only games I have to turn stuff down on.

Either way enjoy your 360.... while it lasts. 2 of my friends 360's bit the dust, and my cousin is getting ready to send his in for a 2nd time. My 60gig launch ps3 is still going strong :knock on wood:

What about the more recent 360 exclusives such as Fable3? Any gems in there I've missed?

Fable 3 is no longer a 360 exclusive (will be out on PC soon), but from what I've heard, the 360 version is not recommended. A lot of game killing bugs (falling through the world and autosaves keeping you constantly falling with no way to revert to an old save for example). Don't know if these are being fixed with patches yet or not, but I know I'd be more than a little annoyed if I spent hours getting through the game only to have it killed by a bug like this. And this is a Microsoft game as well!

Thanks for the replies guys. When I went into Blockbuster over the weekend my decision was made very easy thanks to a great deal they had on: Mass Effect 2 for £7. Should keep me entertained until Friday when Brink comes out :)
